nese Consulate, Nuuanu Avenue. The
front of the house and the grounds We're
most brilliantly illuminated with colored

elegant sight, being decorated with flags,
flowers, ferns and evergreens. The
ROYAL Hawaiian Band was stationed on
the front lawn, and discoursed appropri-
ate selections of music during the even
ing. A large number of invited guests
were in attendance, comprising the elite
of Honolulu. Some of the toilets worn
by the ladies were beautiful in the ex-
IRENE. The attaches of the Legation
received the guests at the front entrance
and conducted them to the main parlor,
where they were most cordially wei
coined by Mr.. Taro Ando, japanese
Consul and Commissioner, and Mrs.
Ando. Among those present were no.
ticed H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani,
Hon A. s. Cleghorn, members of the

efficient corps of walters. The reception
was a most brilliant affair throughout

HONOLULU FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Meeting of the Board of Representa-
tHVeS.

The monthly meeting of the Board of
Representatives was held last evening,
Chief Engineer c.. B. Wilson presiding.
After the confirmation of the minutes,
two letters from No company were
read. One announced the expulsion of
Lewai Kaawa, J. III. Boyd taking his
place; also, the removal from office of
foreman P. Souza for alleged misconduct,
the position being consequently vacant.
The other letter notified the Board of the
expulsion of member in Consequence
of his having joined the Hook and Lad
der company without the consent of No.
4, of which he was member, and ask
ing that the several companies be in
structed not to admit him to member
ship, his action being in violation of the
rules of the Department. A letter had
been received from Mrs. Robinson thank
ing the Department for their courtesy in
attending the funeral of the late Josiah
Kaaukai. The correspondence was ac-
copied and placed on file.
The committee appointed to inquire
into the case of Henry Robinson, re-
ported that it had not been deemed adj
visable to send him to the hospital.
Finding that he was in INDECENT circum-
stances, they had paid him the sum of
$50. The report was accepted and the
committee discharged. Foreman Nc
Carthy conveyed the thanks of Robinson
to the Department.
The report of the committee OF physi-
clans was accepted and the committee
discharged. 1t bore the signatures of
Drs. McWayne, Gray, Martin, McKib-
bin, McGrew, Tucker, Trousseau, Bro
die and three Chinese doctors.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the legality of the expulsion of Will
lam Ramsay from Company No. 2
reported that the bylaws had been COM
piled with, but they considered he had
not received justice, and recommended
that the matter be referred back to the
company.
At the request of Delegate Herrick,
Foreman Mccarthy stated the circum-
stances under which Ramsay had been
expelled. The action had been taken on
the recommendation of the foreman, but
they were willing to give him trial.
The matter was briefly discussed, Sec
ond Assistant Engineer Morgan contend |
ing that member who appealed to the
Board had right to an impartial trial
before the Board. Mr.. Lucas said it |
would be time enough to appeal to the |
Board after he had been tried by his |
Company
The report was adopted and the COM
mittee discharged.
A disposition was shown to discuss the |
of Foreman Souza, but mo-
ton of indefinite postponementp prevailed.
Smith reopened the case by
that Souza noted an appeal. A
committee consisting of Secretary Smith,
Delegate Lucas and Foreman Mccarthy
was appointed to investigate the case.
Secretary Smith moved that Company
No. be notified not to fill the vacant
position of foreman until the committee
reported back to the Board Carried.
Delegate Norton asked that the Hook
and Ladder Company be allowed to draft
a new Constitution and Bylaws.
Chief Engineer Wilson replied that
they had perfect right to do so provided
that they notified the Board of their ac-
ton.
The meeting then adjourned.

Prohibition in the Hays County Farm.
ers' Alliance...Letter from the
Secretary.
In the FREE PRESS of the 4th inst, 1t is
stated that resolution was passed at the
meeting of the County Alliance, expressing
sympathy with the Prohibition movement
of the State, although no mention was made
of the matter in the published proceedings,
and that the above views are overwhelming
ly predominant among the Alliance people
of this county.
Now sir, both the above statements are
perfectly correct, therefore it would appear
to need some explanation to set myself
right with the public.
The very small minority who were OPP
posed to the resolution showed much
warmth respecting It, some asserting that II
was political dodge, and others that it would
only transfer the traffic from the saloons to
the drug shops. And although there was
was general disclaimer against It's being
aught but prohibition per SO, the few OPP
posed were not to be appeased.
Under these circumstances had endeav-
ored to assume the part Of peacemaker,
by making no mention Of anything that
could rasp the sensibilities of the minority.
and by avoiding everything that could prove
irritating to them, hoping thereby that time
and reflection would win them over to the
right. Well knowing also that the omission
at this time could have no effect for or
against the movement. But I find the part
of peacemaker is not without its draw
backs II is very difficult TO be conciliatory
without its being believed to be q sign Of
surrender.
II there is any question on which I might
feel justified in expressing an opinion q Gs
TIE drink traffic, as my whole life and fam
lily interest has been connected with, and
bound up in, the large brewing, mailing
and foreign wine and spirit trade Of the
middle counties of England, and there Is
probably no one in this county, perhaps in
the State, more widely known in that coun-
try than the writer. And / don't hesitate
